Denzel Washington Cleans Up the Streets: A Geographic Tour of The Equalizer's Filming Locations
Ah, The Equalizer. The movie where Denzel Washington dispenses justice with the efficiency of a home improvement store and the finesse of a grumpy librarian. But where exactly did our favorite retired black ops dude serve up a heaping helping of payback? Buckle up, armchair geographers, because we're taking a deep dive into the filming locations of The Equalizer!
A City of Many Faces: Boston Takes Center Stage
Let's not sugarcoat it: The Equalizer isn't exactly a documentary showcasing the finer points of Boston tourism. Instead, the film takes us on a gritty tour of the city's underbelly. We're talking warehouses, seedy apartments, and the occasional explosion (because apparently, Denzel can't solve a problem without a little pyrotechnics).
East Boston Gets a Close-Up: Robert McCall, Denzel's character, calls East Boston home. We see glimpses of his apartment overlooking the Tobin Bridge, a not-so-subtle reminder that he keeps a watchful eye over the city.
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
Beyond Beantown: While Boston takes the spotlight, the film crew ventured out to explore other parts of Massachusetts. Haverhill provided the backdrop for Home Mart, McCall's, well, not-so-glamorous day job. The scenic Crane Estate in Ipswich stood in for a fancy Moscow mansion (because, you know, bad guys gotta have vacation homes too).
Hidden in Plain Sight: Keep your eyes peeled for iconic Boston landmarks! The movie features fleeting glimpses of the Prudential Center and the Zakim Bridge, offering a taste of the city's more recognizable sights.
So, you've seen the movie and now you have an insatiable wanderlust for Denzel's stomping grounds? Well, hold on to your hats, because we've got some FAQs to quench your thirst for knowledge!
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
